The Role
General Motors’ Human Interface Design organization creates the digital experiences that power our in‑vehicle software, mobile apps, and branded web platforms. As a Producer on the Design System Governance team, you will help run the operating models, governance rituals, and delivery processes that enable designers to work at scale across these surfaces. You will partner closely with Foundations, design system owners, and cross‑functional teams to ensure that components, tokens, iconography, and guidelines are created, governed, and adopted consistently. You will collaborate frequently with other producers and design leads across vehicle operating system, web, and app teams to align roadmaps, manage dependencies, and ensure system changes land cleanly in product work. In this role, you will learn and apply proven producer practices on well‑defined projects with guidance and mentorship from more senior producers.
What You’ll Do
Support scalable workflows and governance models that improve predictability, velocity, and quality of design delivery across web, mobile, and in‑vehicle experiences, helping operate and continuously improve the intake and triage model for design system requests.
Assist in running design system governance for GM’s web, mobile, and vehicle operating system design systems—including intake, prioritization, decision forums, and release/readout communications—under guidance from senior producers.
Partner with design system owners, Foundations, accessibility, and content teams to coordinate component and library releases, track deprecation and migration tasks, and contribute to improving design system documentation and discoverability.
Help facilitate alignment across design, product, engineering, and brand partners by preparing materials, capturing notes and decisions, following up on actions, and building clear communication artifacts such as status updates, simple roadmaps, briefs, risk logs, and decision logs.
Coordinate checklists and logistics for quality and release‑readiness activities across design, engineering, accessibility, and content, helping ensure that required reviews, sign‑offs, and artifacts are completed before release for Foundations‑ and Governance‑owned work.
Identify and surface risks and blockers you observe in meetings and work boards; help drive resolution by organizing follow‑ups, documenting options, clarifying owners, and supporting realistic expectations through basic capacity and resourcing signals.
Schedule, prepare, and help facilitate regular rituals—such as grooming, decision forums, and working sessions—while collaborating with other producers and design leads to manage shared backlogs, align milestones, coordinate cross‑surface releases, and champion standardized tools and practices that support multi‑brand, multi‑region design operations.
